I’ve been shooting this house for years as it’s a landmark near my family’s church, Pine Level. It was a tenant home on the Neil Swanson farm. I always expect it to be gone, but somehow it holds on.

Somehow, with the foggy weather the house looks like it is in better condition than your 2010 photograph. I do love the image–looks really nostalgic. Thank you for sharing.
Brian, I really enjoy the pictures and information you send me.
Thanks a big bunch, Ginnie B
